The Definition of reality gradually sets in for Zenon as the thought of free-flow in his academics voyage had been his major set back,he either kept failing a course which perhaps might guarantee a withdrawal from his department eventually or a spill over. He confessed to Salim,his right hand friend like a brother his inability,instead of a reciprocated scolding or discouragement from Salim he rather encouraged him thereby advising him candidly to registered for a nearest football academy yet he should also thrived to beat the best in his academic as hefty as he could
"You can do it,guy
You just have to promise me to enhance academically" Salim said to Zenon holding his hands with his face filled with a greater ambitions
"Dimeji,you can be both trust me" He repeated
" A civil engineer and a footballer?" Zenon queried in disbelief
" Of course,dude. You ought to boost your CGPA,you are literally writing downward and I'm not happy with that at all" Salim said with a slight disappointment displayed on his face,he furthermore went on his knee pleading vehemently
"One more thing,I want a pinky promise that you would stay the hell away entirely from Zendaya. I can observed obviously that the bitch is distracting you kinda" Salim added
"Getting you lunch often,I ain't a fan of that anymore,you serious ought to cut ties with her. This is Third year " Salim uttered with a serious face as he dragged Zenon up from his bed upon discovering that time wasn't on their edge anymore as there would be a lecture in an hour time.
Not to forget,I just recollected that they were no longer residing in their school hostel as it was mainly for the new student and the final year student, so they weren't eligible to ballot any longer, they had to rented a lodge off-campus at a very substantial amount in which they had no choice otherwise they would be rendered homeless in an unknown town. The distance from their department to their residents ain't something anyone could adapted to randomly,it took them an entire semester before they could adapted and adjusted by trekking and sometimes got conveyed by their faculty shuttle bus alighting at their respective destination conveniently and also at a cheaper rate compared to the public tricycle.
This two youngin arrived at their school gate at an early hour but was denied an entrance because they couldn't present their institution identity card, although that wasn't supposed to triggered any unnecessary reactions from the securities but living in an underdeveloped and corrupted country,they wanted a tip of token which they eventually gotten before they could be granted an entrance.
At this time,they were running late for the lecture. They hasteningly took to their heels and ran as fast as they could to their lecture venue. Failingly, upon arrival the lecturer was nowhere to be found,this two ridiculously took to their seat looking exhausted and breathing so heavily as a result of their marathon race from the school third entrance gate.
Zendaya as usual came and sat in between these two dudes obviously invading their precious privacies
"Why am I getting a cold welcome?"she inquired as the both of them seemed to ignored her presence
Zendaya please excuse us we are busy now?
Zenon instructed in awe
Zendaya was lost,that was so unusual
She soliloquised as she stood up quite embarrassed but she had to wore a fake smile to avert suspicious of the embarrassment and snobbish from Zenon and his friend Salim
Either way,Zendaya probably thought buying him some gifts could impressed him or warranted a safe place from Zenon so she set out to purchased her usual which was chocolate drink and a milky creamer
She bought three so they could equally take one each. Surprisingly,Zenon and Salim rejected her offer even though Zenon was on the verge of accepting it,with Salim,Zenon couldn't.
Zendaya awfully left embarrassed and emotional,she wept like ever before placing her head right on the table pretending to be asleep not knowing to everyone that she been drenched with tears. That incident got her a bit traumatized and heartbroken,she imagined the money she had lavished trying to impressed Zenon but with her friend Salim influence,Zenon wouldn't have her a chance to prove how intense she had loved and adored him right from their first year.
Eventually,due to the lecturers absence,after some hours of idleness,gisting,and vibing the class dismissed and everyone headed to their respective destination except Zendaya who insisted on having a private conversation with Zenon in Salim's absence,but who possible could that be lest she pleaded with Salim to excused them for some minutes
Yeah, that was literally what she eventually did. She dragged Zenon under a shaded tree to secure a safer place from the scorching sun while on their way,she interrogated him in curiousness
"I thought I have offended you In some manners" Zendaya questioned, Zenon kept tried to clarified himself by assuring her that she hasn't done anything offensive for him to warrant being snobbish but he had a lot on his plate to conquer right now emphasis on academically
"I can be of help" Zendaya objected
Zenon laughed at her cluelessness,
"You don't even know a tip of what's bothering me at all" he inquired
"Your academic performance particularly, every sensible human being would effortlessly guessed that right" she intruded
In conclusion,The both settled their slight differences,Zendaya offered to assist him in anything,she even promised to assisted him with some textbooks so he could enhance academically before every other things
"Don't give a futile promise"Zenon teased
" Of course not" she assured him as they headed towards where Salim took his seat. Zendaya left waving him a warm goodbye
The selfish boy Salim bought snacks for himself as he was starving
"You are so selfish,so you couldn't buy for me too" Zenon protested
"I was farmished" Salim responded with his mouth filled with biscuits and yoghurt
"What about me?I was farmished too dude" Zenon replied offensively
" You should have asked your selfless girlfriend to get you lunch, I achieved this from shalewa" Salim lied although ZENON already got the memo
However, they continued their journey back to their individual resident,of course that's their hostel while gisting as usual
